Jan. 10

Today I had 4 cups of caffeine. However, I don't care on Sundays.

Friday Janury 8

Yesterday, I had four cups of hot tea. Two were in the am while the others were in the pm. It was so cold that I needed something to warm me up since I don't have a man to do so.

The next day

Second day of caffeine withdrawal went well. I only had 2 1/2 cups of hot tea yesterday. Plus I had three 8 oz glasses of water. I am on my way.

Today 1/7/09 the third day went well too. Another 2 1/2 cups of tea.

Second Day

On the second day of curbing my caffeine intake, I have only had one cup of hot tea. Mind you it is only 1pm and sometimes I can have up to three cups by this time. Feeling good. The withdrawal is not bad.

I do not know how much I should cut back, but my doctor said I should have one a week. Yikes!

Some people say try herbal or decaffeinated but I can not stand the tastes of them. I am more of Lipton or Tetley kind of drinker.

Hopefully by the rest of the day I will have one more cup.
